Abstract: AAVSO observers are requested to monitor 15 VY Scl novalike cataclysmic variables to support Hubble Space Telescope observations.

Justification: HST observations need to be obtained during a low state when the white dwarf is the dominant source of light in the ultraviolet. Continuous nightly monitoring over the entire visible period is useful to detect the occurrence of a low state.
